[SPOTLIGHT] Texas Wedding Photographer Paige Ogilvie

Posted on by

Austin Texas Wedding Videographer The Wedding TheaterOne of the most important aspects of wedding videography, is the cohesion between a photographer and a cinematography team.  Knowing a photographer personally makes things just that much easier.  I met Paige in the second grade I believe, and have known her to be a wonderful person ever since.  Paige Ogilvie has been doing photography sinse high school, and I was extremely excited when I found out she was venturing into weddings!  We

austin wedding photographer

had a chance to have a phone interview with the talented Dallas based photographer to ask a few key questions about her work and what to expect when hiring her to photograph your wedding day.  Of course this is a shortened version of the A.D.D. reunion that we had at the time of the call!

Jonathan : So Paige, I know you have had a camera in your hands for almost as long as I can remember, but when did you first pick up a camera, what kind was it?

Dallas Wedding PhotographerPaige : My parents gave me a 35mm Canon (film!) camera for my birthday when I turned 15.  I developed and printed most of my own pictures in the darkroom at my high school.  I actually shot my very first wedding with it when I was only 17.

 Jonathan : I know you were always snapping pictures in High School, working for the yearbook, etc. what about photography do you most enjoy?

Paige : My favorite thing about photo-ing people is that I get to document their lives RIGHT NOW – a time that will never be the same again.  From engaged couples, to a bride and groom on their wedding day, to brand new parents – I realize that the photos I take will be someone’s favorite picture of their parents or grandparents someday.

Jonathan : Whats an aspect of photography you are always striving to improve?

Paige : I’m constantly striving to give my clients the best “whole experience” that I can possibly deliver .  I try really hard to facilitate a genuine relationship with the bride and groom so that they can trust me to do my job.  From Skyping with a couple before their engagement session to sending them their finished wedding album, I try to make the whole experience a fabulous one.
Jonathan : I know this is a tough question to answer from experience, but I have to ask it anyway… Why choose PLO Photo?
Wedding Photographer DallasPaige : I love what I do.  For me photography is my paint.  I love taking photos that I feel will forever hold that moment still in a world that is constantly changing.  I think still photography is one of the only things that does that, and its the reason it still holds strong in the “video” generation that we live in.  Every picture allows a person to make their own assumption as to what had happened just before or after it was taken; and the story behind it is left up to the person looking at it. Recognizing that makes a huge difference in a photographers work, and I personally feel that it shows in mine. Also I only take on a few weddings a month to ensure my clients get the best experience possible.
Jonathan : Paige, thank you so much for taking this quick phone call!

Paige : It was great talking with you!

Houston Wedding Venues: The Woodlands Country Club & Resort

Posted on by

Clark Lara Photography // www.clarklara.com

I was born and raised in The Woodlands, Texas, a beautiful suburban utopia located in an enchanting forest just north of Houston. The Woodlands is a perfect place to have a fall wedding with towering pine trees and wonderful parks. The Woodlands Country Club and Recreation Center in particular is a perfect wedding venue, it inspires grand occasions and creates moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. Located about 6 miles away from Market Street, The Woodlands Mall, and The Waterway, after the reception, your guests will have a great time. The clubhouses surround you with warm, vibrant decors and a casual elegance ready to accommodate receptions from 20-200. The Grand Dining Rooms feature magnificent views overlooking their perfectly manicured golf courses.

For occasions where the guest list is smaller and the moments more intimate, The Woodlands Country Club Clubhouses offer smaller, private dining rooms. They will arrange an unforgettable day of golf and camaraderie for the Groom and his closest friends and family. They offer a champagne toast, dance floor, complimentary cake cutting, optional center pieces, cake and gift tables with linens and beautiful photo oppurtunities around the club and golf course. The Woodlands Country Club offers wonderful service and makes for a wonderful wedding venue.

[VIDEO] PicFlips = Wedding Reception Hit!

Posted on by

The Wedding Theater isn’t just about wedding video and film, we are about what is new, fun, and cutting edge with weddings!  Over the weekend while filming Carrie and David’s fantastic T Bar M Resort Wedding, we ran into a couple of gals with PicFlips (iloveflipbooks.com). PicFlips are something new to us, but we loved them right from the beginning. First of all, the two girls working there were very friendly and helpful explaining what the product is, and second, it was so much fun! Basically this is a short, instantly gratifying 6-7 second animation of you and your friends. Step in front of the screen and goof around like you would in a photobooth, but come out and just over a minute later you will have your very own keepsake from the wedding – an old school animated movie! They had tons of signs and costume type fun adds to make each flip book unique. We liked FlipPic so much, we threw together our own little commercial for this blog so can see just how fun they are and we are going to use Carrie and Davids flip book from their wedding night in their trailer coming soon!

This was our flipbook from the night.

Wedding Entertainment – The Pictures Band

Posted on by

We’re not talking about jewelry here, this is about MUSIC!  You may prefer to save some money and go the DJ route, but if you want people up and moving, and your dance floor to be packed all night, then you need the personality and pizazz that a live band provides.

Here in Austin, especially, you’ve got a lot of options when it comes to live bands.  You may want to choose based on your favorite era of music.  There are party bands that specialize in each musical decade, particular genres, or tribute bands.  I say not to limit yourself to anything and go with an experienced party band that plays a variety of covers.  One of our favorites is The Pictures Band located here in Austin.  The Pictures are some of the best wedding entertainment we have ever seen.  They keep the crowd jumping, and sound exactly like whatever song they are playing.

The Pictures Band
The Pictures Band and the happy couple

The Wedding Theater has worked weddings with them several times both in Austin and in nearby cities around Texas and they’re really a groovy group of guys.  They play all the hits from the 50s to current.  From Dance to Country to Latin – whatever you fancy they play it. So if you’re looking for a great wedding band you should check em out at http://www.thepictures.com; their complete song list is online to whet your appetite along with videos of them playing.
